Slashing Away: A Dark Psychological Thriller (Gushers Series Book 2)

by Chuck Buda

  Zoe whispered something. It was soft but meant to be heard by the group around him. The chill tingled the base of his spine and danced up the back of his skull. He knew the second he heard Zoe’s whisper, trouble had again found him. Aiden repeated the word silently in his mind.

  “Spencer.”

  Chapter 36

  “Spencer.”

  Zoe whispered over Aiden’s head. Zoe felt the tension skyrocket. She shot a look at Spencer who stood next to her, unflinching.

  “Take his blood.”

  “Wait a second.” Todd stepped forward. “The kid just handed you a gallon of his fucking blood. What sense is it to take more?”

  Zoe noticed Aiden remained in place, bent on one knee. His teary eyes pleaded for mercy. “It’s okay, Todd. I am ready to serve my master.” Aiden lowered his head.

  Zoe was thrilled with Aiden’s conformity. Apparently, he was truthful about doing whatever it took to get back inside The First Cut. She changed her attention to Spencer who stood still.

  “What are you waiting for?” She amped up her tone enough to inspire Spencer to action.

  Leah chimed in next. “Aiden has drained his own blood for us. And he’s practically crawling around in here on hands and knees. There’s no need to humiliate him anymore.”

  “It has nothing to do with humiliation. It has to do with loyalty. I would like to trust Aiden and believe he filled the jug with his blood. But how do I know he didn’t just squeeze a roast out of his mother’s refrigerator? Did you witness him bleed for us?”

  Leah diverted her gaze. Zoe knew she had Leah. Without factual knowledge, nobody could defend Aiden’s loyalty until it was laid bare, before all to witness.

  “It’s okay, Leah. I am prepared to do what is needed to prove I am worthy of being a member in good standing.” Aiden spoke with his head downturned.

  “There you go. Aiden is okay with it. So why shouldn’t you be?”

  “This is crazy. This has gone beyond what is necessary. Don’t make me stop you, Zoe.” Todd pointed a finger at her.

  Zoe stole a glance at Ryan. He was beside himself on his allegiance. Zoe was proud of him. Maybe his test was finished for tonight since he stood silently.

  Spencer moved in front of Zoe. “Back off, Todd. If Aiden doesn’t care then it is not up to you to speak for him.”

  Zoe smiled again. Spencer chose to defend her wishes. Maybe whatever Leah heard Spencer saying was just lip service. She owned Spencer like the others.

  “Cut his neck and take his blood.”

  Spencer remained stoic. He definitely heard her speak. But he wasn’t moving. Zoe started to get angry.

  “I told you to cut him and take his blood. Now.” Zoe got angrier because Spencer’s lack of action drove her to sound like a petulant child.

  “Even your boy doesn’t want to do it.” Todd pointed out Spencer’s hesitation.

  “I told you to back off, Todd. I don’t need your help.” Spencer pointed a knife at Todd.

  “Spencer, put the knife away and think how crazy this is.” Leah threw in her two cents from behind them. Zoe reeled to glare upon Leah.

  “You certainly have become quite the mouthy little bitch, haven’t you?”

  Leah’s attention moved away from Spencer. She stepped closer to Zoe. The move was enough to force Zoe’s hand before Leah interfered any more.

  “Are you volunteering your neck for us? I’d be glad to have Spencer substitute you for Aiden.” Zoe watched Leah swallow hard.

  She turned back to Todd who had inched closer. “What’s the matter, Todd? You have no backup this time, huh? Ryan knows what’s more important. And it doesn’t look like your little boy-toy has the energy to keep up anymore.” Zoe gestured at Jordyn who remained quiet. Ryan blinked and looked at his hands.

  Todd took in his options as he peered behind himself. He must have figured he was on his own because he paused to figure out what to do next. Zoe chuckled. Todd had no next move. She was in full control of these proceedings. Now she had to get Spencer to comply. Or else she would do it herself. Zoe reasoned if Spencer forced her to cut Aiden, then she would start with Spencer’s neck first.

  Aiden stood up. Zoe wanted to shove him back down to the ground. Before she could get her hands up, Aiden spoke in a calming tone. “Guys, stop fighting. We all wanted to do something fun. Something crazy because we were bored. Now, when we are ready to do something truly different, we fight to remain the same.” He looked around the yard. “This is going to be fun. And I want to do this. I want to be a part of you guys. We’ve been friends for so long. We can’t end with bickering and fighting. Let’s have fun. I’m sure Zoe and Spencer aren’t going to hurt me. I trust them.”

  The faces around them were stunned. Zoe was impressed. Not only was Aiden dumber than cement, he was braver than a soldier running headlong into battle. He really believed this shit and was willing to put the group first. Zoe almost had a notion to reprieve Aiden and use one of the others instead. Almost.

  But his submission would make it the path of least resistance, which is exactly what Zoe needed right now. Time was wasting and she wanted to conjure the demons to fill her up.

  “Hold on.”

  Zoe reacted to the new voice. Jordyn moved forward, her robe slipping open to reveal her bare tummy and so much cleavage, even Zoe wanted to take Jordyn.

  “Well, look who showed up.” Zoe taunted Jordyn. The little princess had waited in the shadows only to swoop in at the last second. Not on Zoe’s watch.

  “I think we can get around this dilemma we have. We need a sacrifice, of course. And Aiden has offered himself up willingly. Numerous times.”

  Zoe glared at Jordyn. “Get to the point, Jordyn. We want to move things along.” Her impatience slipped through in her words and tenor.

  Jordyn smiled. “I believe I can offer a viable solution. A sacrifice which is greater than blood. Why is it greater than blood? I’ll show you. Blood can be replaced. Regenerated. What I propose, can only be give up once. It can never be given back.” Jordyn motioned for everyone to follow her inside the house. She slid the patio door open and entered the kitchen.

  Ryan followed first. Todd waited for Aiden and Leah to make their way. Then he went inside. Spencer and Zoe remained in place. Zoe was dumbfounded that Jordyn had stolen the show. It was Spencer’s fault for not doing as she asked him to. She shot Spencer an evil look but it was too late. He had already started to walk into the house. Zoe seethed. She wanted to rip the knife from Spencer’s hand and kill all of them. On the spot. They should all be sacrificed for what they had put her through.

  Zoe bit her cheek and went inside. She slid the glass door shut behind her. Zoe had entered the house several moments after the rest of the group. She had to listen to their footfalls to know where they had gone. Zoe heard the steps tracking up the stairs. Zoe hurried behind them to catch up.

  Chapter 37

  Rebecca tensed. She heard the kids coming up the stairs. In her heart of hearts, Rebecca believed her daughter had been bluffing. She never suspected how sincere Jordyn had been about offering her to the group.

  The bedroom door swung open. Jordyn glowered at her and stepped aside so the others could funnel into the room. Rebecca averted her eyes as much as she could. It wasn’t enough though. She picked up on the shift in energy as the classmates stood around. Several mouths gaped wide. Eyes stunned in disbelief.

  “What the fuck is this?” Zoe stepped forward. She directed her comments at Jordyn while maintaining her attention on Rebecca.

  Jordyn walked over to the bed. She placed a hand on Rebecca’s shoulder. “This is the ultimate sacrifice to The First Cut.”

  Rebecca shuddered. Her daughter’s words were so calculating. If she hadn’t seen Jordyn approach her, Rebecca would have believed the person standing over her was someone else. The voice sounded strange, like hearing a long-lost relative on the telephone for the first time in years. Rebecca knew it was Jordyn. But the spirit belonged to anoth
er.

  Zoe came closer. She inspected the situation before continuing. “Your mother? You’d throw your own mother into the fire before Aiden?”

  “Fire? You were going to burn me?” Aiden croaked out a fearful whine.

  Zoe chuckled. “Why?”

  Jordyn grinned and patted Rebecca’s shoulder. “The reasons are not necessary. Trading my mother for Aiden should suffice for your purposes. After all, Aiden offered a gallon of blood. How much more can you hope to get out of the poor guy?”

  “It had nothing to do with getting something OUT of Aiden. It had to do with Aiden SHOWING his loyalty.” Zoe pointed at Rebecca. “She isn’t about Aiden’s loyalty.”

  “No. She’s not. My mother is about MY loyalty. In comparison, the rest of you have given next to nothing for The First Cut.” Jordyn glared at Zoe.

  Rebecca felt the tension in the room. Her own discomfort was overshadowed by the palpable grit within the room. She feared the girls would rip into each other.

  She stole a glance at the boys in the back of the room. Todd licked his lips. Ryan tried, but failed, to hide his erection. Rebecca felt a tinge of excitement dart within her stomach. It quickly disappeared as Jordyn and Zoe went on.

  “I take it your mother knows about us then?”

  Jordyn laughed. “Oh yeah. She knows everything. About the blood. The sex. Her precious hot tub.”

  Zoe looked over her shoulder at Spencer. “Okay. Cut the bitch so we can move things along.”

  Rebecca shot up. Her bathrobe rode up her thighs. She felt a cool breeze along her crotch. “Hold on. You never said anything about cutting. What do you mean cut me? Why would you cut me?” Rebecca felt her breath shorten with terror. She couldn’t believe these kids could be so calloused about hurting people. These weren’t the same kids she used to have over for Jordyn’s birthday parties. These kids didn’t resemble the ones she used to carpool to school.

  Jordyn held up a hand as Spencer came forward with the large knife. “I’m not offering my mother’s blood. Put the fucking knife down.”

  Rebecca pinned her vision on Spencer. She needed to make sure he listened to Jordyn. Rebecca focused on his knife hand because the rest of him looked scary, all painted in white and black. Or was it blood?

  “Then what exactly ARE you offering, Jordyn?” Zoe taunted Jordyn.

  Jordyn reassured Rebecca with a gentle touch. “My mother will fuck you all.”

  Todd swallowed loudly from the back of the room. Aiden and Leah exchanged shocked looks. Ryan smiled and rubbed his bulging bathing suit.

  Zoe and Spencer checked each other. Spencer shrugged. Zoe returned her attention to Jordyn and Rebecca. Rebecca felt the girl’s eyes upon her body, like spider legs crawling over her skin.

  Zoe snorted. “You want these guys to fuck your mother?” She laughed. “Wow. You must really hate her more than I hate my own mother. That’s saying a lot.”

  “I don’t hate my mother. She just owes me. Big time.” Jordyn glanced down at Rebecca.

  Zoe and Spencer conferred quietly in each other’s ears.

  Rebecca watched Leah. She feared the girl would find out the real reason Rebecca was being humiliated before Jordyn’s peers. The whole world would crumble around them both if the truth became exposed.

  Zoe and Spencer finished whispering. “All right. Your offer will be accepted tonight. Your mother will be fucked by EVERYONE. The choice is hers if she wishes to fight it or submit willingly. Either way, the sacrifice must occur.”

  Zoe stared at Rebecca. She pursed her lips. Rebecca felt a warm flush cascade over her breasts. She wondered if she was a sick pervert for feeling hot and bothered over fucking a bunch of teenagers. Rebecca started to feel like the sacrifice wasn’t going to be as painful as she had anticipated. She had an overactive libido and she had many fantasies about orgies. She had also fantasized about Jordyn’s friend, Todd, on a few occasions. The young man was extremely attractive and had a killer body. Rebecca hoped his youth could withstand the power of her own drive. Because she would need him to go on for a long time.

  Rebecca mumbled her only choice. “I will do this...willingly.” She imagined how much fun it could have been if she had tried to resist. But she didn’t want something accidental to happen just to heighten her own pleasure.

  “Well, this is quite a surprise. I never would have guessed we would find ourselves in a situation like this.” Zoe touched Rebecca’s cheek. Her fingers brought electric currents to Rebecca’s skin, adding to the excitement blossoming deep within her sex.

  While Zoe caressed Rebecca, she watched Spencer, Todd and Ryan close in on her. Ryan had already shucked off his bathing trunks. His throbbing cock jiggled from side to side as he neared her. Todd was taking in her curves, still hidden by the silky thin bathrobe. Rebecca felt the hardness in her nipples attempting to break through the skein of the fabric.

  Behind them, Aiden and Leah took their time getting close. Rebecca was grateful because she wanted to steer clear of Leah. But maybe she should have fun fucking Leah. Holden had fucked Jordyn and it hurt her feelings. She could return the favor, making it even worse because not only would Holden know his daughter had sex, but she had lesbian sex. Rebecca smiled at how Holden would take such news, imagining Rebecca’s face glossy with Leah’s juices.

  Rebecca felt Jordyn back away before she saw it with her own eyes. Jordyn moved into the shadows of the bedroom. Rebecca felt better not seeing her daughter, even if she knew Jordyn was still nearby. The thought of rolling around in a pile of flesh only to catch her daughter watching made Rebecca want to puke.

  Zoe parted the silky bathrobe, allowing Rebecca’s breasts to bounce freely in front of her.

  A collective gasp echoed around her as the first hands groped the exposed mounds.

  Chapter 38

  Jordyn sunk back along the wall. She watched as the frenzy of sex ensued.

  Ryan pushed to the front of the line. He lowered Jordyn’s mother to the bed. As Rebecca sat, Ryan held his cock in front of her face. Rebecca grasped the shaft and swirled her tongue around the head. Zoe knelt between Rebecca’s thighs and proceeded to lick her pussy. Todd pulled down his shorts and pressed his swollen member into Rebecca’s left tit.

  Jordyn bit her lower lip. She tried not to laugh aloud at the abuse her mother was beginning to absorb at her friends’ hands. A pit in her belly swirled as she watched the orgy progress.

  Rebecca continued to massage Ryan’s dick up and down as she turned to the side to accept Todd fully into her mouth. Todd grasped the hair on the back of Rebecca’s head, helping her head maneuver in and out along his shaft. Spencer picked up Zoe’s hips and held her aloft like she were a wheel barrow. He plunged himself into Zoe from behind, grunting as he thrusted.

  Aiden and Leah remained in the center of the bedroom. They stood and embraced. Their passionate kissing appeared intimate to Jordyn. She watched as they delicately caressed each other and stood entwined in a loving union. The stark difference between their action and what took place a few feet away on the bed made Jordyn think there was more to the picture than anyone had guessed. Were Aiden and Leah an item? Had they been more than just friends all this time and nobody had realized it? Jordyn began to think about it before getting distracted by the sounds her mother was making. It seemed she was enjoying the punishment rather than feeling humiliated by it.

  The group on the bed moved farther across the mattress. Todd lay down and Zoe straddled him, fitting his thick cock into her wet vagina. She began to writhe and slide up and down while Rebecca got on all fours alongside them. She kissed Todd as Spencer fit himself into the slit behind her. Ryan stood on the bed, above Todd. He jerked himself off in front of Zoe’s face. Every so often, Zoe would clutch Ryan’s penis and blow him as he stood in front of her. The group carried on for several more moments. The sound of wet slapping and slurping from various areas of the bed, made Jordyn sick to her stomach.

  She turned her attention to Aiden and Leah. Aide
n was on his knees before Leah. He sucked on her smallish breasts and his hand roved beneath her pubic hair.

  Ryan crouched down in front of Rebecca. He slid his legs under her body as she rocked from Spencer’s pounding. She lifted her hands up so Ryan could fit beneath her. Spencer backed out of Rebecca’s pussy and waited while she fitted Ryan into herself. Once Ryan was deep inside, Rebecca lay down upon Ryan and began to shove her tongue inside his mouth. She moaned and gasped. Then, Rebecca used one hand to pull her ass cheek to the side. Spencer obliged her. It took several attempts for him to soften up her anus and get it slippery enough to accept him. But he worked it in, completing a double penetration. Rebecca shrieked in pleasure and giggled.

  Zoe moved over, straddling Ryan’s face. She shoved her wetness against his mouth while his tongue licked up the slit, finding her sweet spot. Zoe ground herself into Ryan’s face and Rebecca pushed Zoe’s lower back with force, helping her feel every ounce of Ryan’s tongue. Rebecca flicked her tongue across Zoe’s ass cheek. Zoe gasped and then flattened herself against Ryan’s head so Rebecca could access her asshole. Rebecca needed no prodding as she immediately got to work on tonguing Zoe’s ass.

  Todd stood on the bed and forced his girth inside Zoe’s mouth.

  Jordyn felt some excitement at watching the mass of humanity devour itself. Each groan and slurp revealing mounting ecstasy. The five-some moved in unison, carefree and oblivious to the rest of the room.

  Jordyn removed her robe and touched herself. She felt wet and her breath came up in short gasps as she pleasured herself. The thought of joining in, especially so close to her own mother, cautioned her to stay back along the wall. She wished she could get some action herself, but felt funny about sticking herself into Aiden and Leah’s fun. Jordyn spent most of her time watching them make love to each other because it gave her a chance to forget about her mother. She knew the image of her mother fucking all her friends would be with her forever, like a deep scar. And it had been her doing.
